Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008 ) was a damn great flick, following in the serious, yet sometimes tongue-in-cheek, pulp action of the originals! It was full of fun and outrageous death-defying action sequences, mystical plot twists, and of course the commies are the bad guys this time!

Back to the flick. I enjoyed the fun and quickly accepted the unusual premise they through at us. If you didn’t, the tone of this overview will not match yours. Indiana Jones still rocks as an older professor. I really enjoyed seeing Indy back in action. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have earned every dollar that their film makes this and in subsequent weekends.

So, I don’t want to say anymore because there are things about this film that can be spoiled. In short, I haven’t been this satisfied with a movie in a long time. Both nostalgia and the film’s sense of fun (plus I love seeing commies as the bad-guys; the Nazis were getting old in these films) have earned an unabashed A for this film in my opinion. If you have other thoughts after seeing the flick, comment using as many spoilers as you want– there is much to discuss.
